there was no forecast that the technology boom would come to an end, but it did. from 2000 onward, we were back into a more normal position of the government running substantial deficits as the private sector rebuild its financial position. that is the first point. long-term forecasts, the idea that one can control the future position of the debt and deficit by actions taken today, is an extremely tenuous and debatable idea. the second point is that there are certain assumptions being made which create extremely scary scenarios. those numbers that were shown -- in stephanie's presentation, the expectation that public debt would rise close to 200% of gdp by 2005. what is that based on? two important assumptions drive these projections. when is that health care costs will continue to rise more rapidly than output, and that the share of health care in gdp will rise to 40% or so by 2080. this is something we know is not going to happen. it is in violation of herbert stein's law. when a trend cannot continue, it will stop.
